    I got this:  All birds have olfactory organs, but only sea birds and vultures have a developed sense of smell, which allows them to locate food by scent. Most birds have an undeveloped sense of smell and locate their food by sight.

    And if I were a vulture, I would not want to smell my dinner!  Yuk...

    Not very well.  I'm not sure about raptors however.
